"hindi kami narito para makipag-kan.......chawan!"

"Matigas! Malaki! Mo-la-ve!"
"Molave troop, next time, please state what that phrase is referring to."

"PRRAKTIS!!!"

Probably the most adrenaline rush-inducing part of the whole camp was visiting the Maze and the statues at night.

Us: "'Di ka namin kilala, Dom!"

"Sa Monday, walang kaibigan at walang kilala si Dom."

Juts: "Dom, ang kupal mo! Natatakot na ako! Tama na!"

Dom: "Kung hihilahin ko mga paa niyo, magsisigawan naman kayo lahat."

"PRRAKTIS!!!"

Tito Nick: "Let me introduce to you my son, Neil."
*palakpakan*

We were observing a boa constrictor during its feeding time (by way of a hen), but it won't eat it.

"Talikod tayo, baka ayaw niyang kainin dahil nasstage fright siya!"

And probably, this morning's round of Coach Hans jokes that leiron, undoubtedly, pushed too far once more.

"'Pag si Coach Hans nasa navy, sasabihin niya sa mga recruits, 'Swim five laps across the world... in six minutes!' Tapos konti na lang naiwan eh. Sasabihin ng naiwan eh, "Sir, may nadaanan kaming shark eh!" "Shark? Very good!""

And some flashplayer.com quotes:

Sauron: "I shall rule the world!!! But first, I'll check my mail.

Bill (poof), bill (poof), *gasp* 20% off laundry detergents?! *manic glare* TIDE!!! the one detergent to rule them all!"

I've found a new friend in revin's older brother kuya lenin, and hey, he's just fun, and tito pete (diomampo) now knows who i am.

Anaconda quotes:

"You knew a guy who knew a guy? Urban myth." - Mitchell (serves as a warning for those people who tell me unusual stories. and stop passing the fake yahoo! warnings around; they're quite annoying already.)

Dom: "Ang baduy naman kung ang babae kinakain."

Me: "Hahaha. Pinagpipiyestahan ng anaconda."

And probably the most thought-provoking quote (heard in a skit):

"Teka, mga kasapi! Bago kayo lumipad, tukain niyo muna itong inihain kong concentrate! Marami itong protina na pampatigas at pampalaki!"

Hmm. Bird viagra.

for the love of Richard Garfield

okay, alvin has read and reacted to my apology. i must say i do not have anything to say anymore to his reaction but two small things:

- the topic of that blog wasn't about you. it was about my thoughts on the question given during that particular fil discussion many weeks ago.

and this:

"Well pahabol ko lng this is not related sa blog pero sana naman PEPI MORAN if you’re annoyed with a person wag mo sana syang duruin(don’t point at him) sa noo at tulakain na gigil na gigil parabang pagaari mo ang buong imbornal ng amerika Europa at Saudi Arabia because I saw you doing that to Dianne m. (sorry Dianne M. if nadamay ka).. pero it’s not right specially babae un. And I know na you think na stupid si Dianne I heard you many times saying that pero sana respect her naman as a girl maybe she’s clumsy pero tao parin yan at dapat mong respitohin."

in truth, i have respect for dianne. i'm only joking around with her and i know she gets it that we joke around (in truth, leiron is the one usually pushing the dianne jokes very far). i only say that dianne is "stupid" whenever she does something wrong (usually out of distraction). i don't think dianne is stupid, i just think that she gets distracted a lot, and i obviously know that she already has enough problems to go along with. i would actually stop joking around and teasing that woman if she requests me to (obviously, when she has had enough and has no mood for more [no malice!]). pero wala namang problema sa kanya eh.

anyway, that's it, probably. father and son related content will come soon later.

dreameth the good dream.

okay, i'm here at home. all day yesterday i was feeling sick (mostly due to the freezing cold of the av1, where me, annal, and ping took make-up CEM tests). and now, since i'm sweating, i feel slightly better.

congrats to all orchestra members. we still have another concert on monday. ngayon kasama na ang strings :P

the only parts of the concert i enjoyed playing is the liloh and steech medley. for those who weren't able to watch, it's a compilation of songs from the movie, including songs of elvis presley's songs (including his song, hand dog! wow! :D). for those sorry people who were unable to watch the movie itself, it was about a little hawaiian girl and a strange blue alien who became the best of a friends. (interesting! :P)

kawawa naman ang mama. ang galing nyang mag-english sa classroom but she failed in this concert. of all people to leave out the national anthem. very disappointing performance from her.

father and son bukas! hopefully, i don't get into a fistfight during the whole thing, but if ever i do, i won't be afraid to lose all my upper teeth.

so, dream the good dream, and avoid all kinds of sexual harrassment.

sincerest apologies

first off, i'd like to copyright and correct the ad. intellectual license goes to vicky (i still hate you :P), and correction: it's on feb 23 and 28.

anyway, my explanation for this post's title is due to the following comment on my post titled okay, that was a letdown:

"hoy pepi wag mo na nga ilagay ung name ko sa blog mo! naninitra ka lng e! ang feeling mo ah! as if naman may sinasabi kang mabuti! and ung story sa fil sinabi mo ba lahat? hinde! the question is pakakasalan ko ba ung babae kahit na nde mo sya magal.. ang sagot ko no! pero nde ko naman siya iiwan! live in muna para masubukan ung pagmamahal namin... kc baka sa huli kami rin ang magsisi! wala kaong sinabing iiwan ko yung babae kasama ng sperm cell ko! shit ka! tumigil ka na nga!" - Alvin

(jam, if you're reading this, i'd like to say that you're right in saying that even i don't want to be offended.)

okay, back to the topic at hand.

let me dissect the comment and reply to it one step at a time.

hoy pepi wag mo na nga ilagay ung name ko sa blog mo - you cannot merely request me to do this. i will lay off you most of the time but when need be, you can be sure that i will call you out.

naninitra ka lng e! - i will admit now that this is my personal problem with you.

ang feeling mo ah! - i have to ask, di ka rin ba feeling? doesn't your feeling-ness justify the fact that your face is plastered all over your blog? and where did "theGreat" and "delicious" come from? isn't it the product of your own feeling-ness too? so why do you say that in your comment in a hateful way? di ka rin ba feeling? (yes, i know that's the second time.)

as if naman may sinasabi kang mabuti! - mabuti about what, may i ask? if you mean in general, i may not be nice nor pleasant at times, but i can be funny, which is the mood that i usually deliver with my blogs.

and ung story sa fil sinabi mo ba lahat? hinde! the question is pakakasalan ko ba ung babae kahit na nde mo sya magal.. - yes, i did. if i may quote from the post: "if you impregnated your girlfriend, would you marry her? there's also a catch: you guys aren't getting along very well. (meaning, you're having arguments before you guys are even married.)" doesn't the last two sentences roughly translate to "hindi mo mahal"? and besides, ms. rogador did not mention anything about love -- she said that you guys don't get along. that doesn't necessarily mean love is absent.

ng sagot ko no! pero nde ko naman siya iiwan! live in muna para masubukan ung pagmamahal namin... kc baka sa huli kami rin ang magsisi! wala kaong sinabing iiwan ko yung babae kasama ng sperm cell ko! - this is where i will admit that i am wrong. i am sorry alvin, i have misunderstood your statement; i have spoken without fully absorbing what you've said (like leiron, who classified music as rich music and poor music). i am fully mistaken in this part.

shit ka! - i thought i said that if people were going to flame me, they should think of something better than "shit ka". at least, you wrote a well thought-out comment to go along with it.

tumigil ka na nga! - i'm afraid i couldn't do this. if ever you don't agree with anything i post (which you have done before), there is always the "X" button in the upper-right hand corner of the window. it's free for you to click, you don't have to pay anything. at least, you show thy ignorance.

and there, is my apology and my retort. i now expect a flood of "i told you so"'s from fozzy in my comment box.

or something like that.

i keep on finding-finding you / "itaas na ang mga kamay!!!"

taken from the super-duper-faloofer-secret blog that we don't want you to know about.

Addicted to you
A song to me
You must be tired of my long stories
About you and happiness
And what you do to my life
You've become the star of my daydreams

[chorus]
In the morning and at night, and in every passing minute
I keep on searching for you,
I keep on searching for you
On my mind and my dreams; whenever fate stops for a moment
I keep on searching for you

Attached to you
Even all afternoon,
When we're together, just like in the movies,
And in our ending
I'll walk you home
And with a goodnight
And a kiss,
And one last goodbye

[spoken]

As I try hard to forget you,
I always seem to find
Your voice singing your song
Whenever the rain falls
And our Sundays spent with each other
They're seemingly forgotten
And your heart that suddenly left me
Is with someone else, oh

In the morning and at night, and in every passing minute
I keep on searching for you,
I keep on searching for you
On my mind and my dreams; whenever fate stops for a moment
I keep on searching for you
I keep on searching for you
At school, during the flag ceremony; until our classes end
I keep on searching for you
I keep on searching for you
Even if you'll bear a child and get married someday,
I'll still be searching for you
I'll still be searching for you.

so, i've gotten around to downloading regine v.'s version of the song. it's slower, more relaxing, more achoustic, and i couldn't tell which is more beautifuller. (parang most easiest filipino quiz.)

ang version ni mama regine:

- the last six lines of the original song are missing. apparently she has graduated from high school.
- there is a longer achoustic intro.
- the most beautiful part of the song, the spoken part, is MISSING. why she didn't do it with her heavenly voice is way beyond me.
- her voice is: beautiful, hypnotic, trance-inducing (synonymous to hypnotic), angelic, and heavenly. tarantacious ako habang pinapakinggan ko eh :D
- walang bass guitar.
- she pronounces the first word of the third line as "nilang". at least, that's what i heard.

anyway, on to serious stuff.

thank you to everyone who went to last night's sophomore night. i guess i also have to thank the people who were feeling KJ enough not to dance *ubo*diannemadamba*ubo* *ubo*annamykell*ubo* *ubo*alvinparondase7en*ubo* (sorry malala ang aking ubo :P). without your attendance, there very well may not have been at least, a mediocre success of a party.

at least, fozzy had a good reason not to attend. what about you?

*commercial*
me! : download ka ng mp3 ng free ride
julian: MERON KAYA AKO
julian: dati pa
julian: ay w8
julian: meron nga ba
julian: i think
julian: w8
me! : wala kaya
me! : libreng sakay
julian: lol
me! : mas mabilis sha kesa sa tinutugtog natin
julian: lol wala nga noh
julian: pero meron akong power rangers na movie
julian: lol
me! : riiight
julian: tas may free ride song doon
julian: whoo
me! : really?
julian: lol oo
julian: ung nagsskateboard sila
*end commercial*

the roses gave out were rather pointless. i gave mine to sarah because my kringlemate didn't attend. i think i was scratched by the thorns. i'm rather lucky, compared to michael who had his hand wounded by the flower. :P

*commercial*
song: "i'm horny, i'm horny horny horny..."
*pag dating ulit sa line na yun..."
me: "julian's horny, he's horny horny horny..."
*end commercial*

playing "happy" by squareheads for the nth time is really an effective strategy to reclaim the people to the floor. 'ika ko nga pagdating ng chorus, "itaas na ang mga kamay!!!"

just for kicks: mondelo kicked me in the ass for some reason, and i kicked janvit in the balls.

picture time!!!


paint shop pro is my new best friend.

okay, i'm done blogging. like i said, "sophomore night ulit next year!"

roses are #FF0000, violets are #0000FF

-patlang - by me -

I reach to the reality of thought
But grab nothing.

I wish to look through a window of verse
Yet see nothing.

Searching frantically through mindful air
Upon finding brilliant silence,
Flinging the pen,
closing the book,
rising from the chair,


I finally find
meaning.

---

anyway, i hope you had a happy valentine's. mine was rather mediocre :P okay, it was dull. but you should go ask fozzy, hers was amazing :P i have yet to learn about other people's valentine's, for they must be stories of great interest.

overheard.

pauline (during a test): "sir, nasa'n sa periodic table ang CN*?"

(* - CN is cyanide, with a superscript of -1. it's a compound of carbon and nitrogen, two different elements which could be found on the table itself.)

pauline (again): "sir, ano ulit ang symbol ng carbon?"
sir lasap: "hay nako pauline, naka-ilang problems na tayo na may carbon. ang symbol n'yan ay CN! *sarcasm*"

someone in the back: "sir, ang hirap ng quiz!"
sir: "mahirap ba? bakit si ping naka 17/20? bakit si pepi naka 20/20?"
me *to anna*: "wag kang hihirit!"

me *to rod*: "shit!" (points at sir tom, and runs. rodney follows)
- after five to ten seconds...
yaps: "teka! hintayin n'yo ko!" (also running)

ryan: "last night was a sad night. so many bombings."
leiron: "onga. yung five-year-old natamaan ng shrapnel."
me *staring blankly*: "kawawa naman yung bata, naka-5 damage."

*yaps doing the chicken dance*
me to leiron: "yaps is a cock."

me: "sis, kung magpakalbo ako, papatayin mo ba ko?"
vicky: "oo."
*no explanation necessary*

yaps: "cake! cake! cake!"
vicky: "yaps, you'll get cake later."
yaps: "cake! cake! cake!"
me: *holding back yaps* "yaps mamaya na!"

yaps: "i want the 'happy' part."
me: "i'm getting the 'day' part. wait, asan na yung mga maliliit na flowers na masarap kainin?"
yaps: "onga, asan na yung mga maliliit na flowers na masarap kainin? wala tayong toothpick!"

anyway, that's it. valentine's 2005 was a bore for me, because i have no valentine = because no one crushes on me. thank you sis, for your card. ipasign mo yung cd kay tito mark abaya (inside joke) sa sunday. may appearance sila sa tower records eh. :P

*paying for the kjwan cd*
cashier: "ipasign mo 'to. darating sila dito."
me *taken by surprise*: "oh? kailan?"
cashier: "*to fellow cashier* kailan nga ba darating ang kjwan dito? sa 20."
me: "ah sige." (makes mental note to tell vicky)

oh the irony, considering that the cd isn't for me anyway :P

awit sa akin

hi.

what have you noticed?

there's a new layout. and it's green.

it features [the old] rivermaya (because bamboo is still in the pictures, see).

and it's for valentine's day.

i tried to turn it red but it didn't work anymore.

anyway.

the principal has not issued an order for us to wear red, in dlsz valentine's tradition.

why?

i have no idea.

and, it's official: dlsz is really plastic. but i guess you already knew that.

the grade 6 had rehearsals. (if you don't know the answer, raise your left hand, etc.)

anyway,

my blog today is annoyingly minimalistic --

just like my layout.

okay, that was a letdown

i guess a magic article diluted with math couldn't appeal everyone, but that article will remain forever in the annals (no malice intended) of my blogging history. so, i'll move on to a more mainstream topic.

oh, and about today's field trip, it was a big disappointment.

anyway, today's topic is yesterday's fil discussion: if you impregnated your girlfriend, would you marry her? there's also a catch: you guys aren't getting along very well. (meaning, you're having arguments before you guys are even married.) so, would you still marry her?

i wasn't able to voice my opinion (which would be redundant because wowie already summed it up in the discussion; see, we have same ideas), so here it is:

yes, i would have to marry her.

not because of any obligation, but because getting married is the only way i can keep the child she will bear. it doesn't matter if we have to argue all the time; it doesn't matter if she's such a pill; the only thing that will matter to me from the bond we share and the vows we've exchanged at the altar is the child, our legacy, someone i will raise proudly. i'll just grit my teeth and try to make it work, all for the sake of the child. i'm not like alvin who says he'll leave the mother; di ko kayang pabayaan ang aking anak. sperm cell ko yan bah; di ko kayang pabayaan yan.

that's my child, i'll raise him/her if you don't want to, thank you very much.

and i'll be a modern dad in the process. fun :P surely watching all those my wife and kids must amount to something.

contradictions

first off, if you want my atom feed, here's the link (although yaps has provided it already through his comment): http://pepseehcola.blogspot.com/atom.xml. yan. gamitin nyo sa my yahoo nyo. i used sam's atom feed to test in my yahoo.

anyway, field trip's tomorrow. marami daw bakla sa abs-cbn. we all know what happened the last time there was a gay in close contact >_< rod knows this.

this afternoon, me, leiron, rod, and mark went to the cadlum hall to have some fun (and point fingers at the third years' decks. honestly.) but then, me and rod remained to have a couple of games. at the end of the couple of games, his deck box was stolen, and we all suspected ibarra (the fat guy with a hilariously small voice, hence, we call him a goon/ogre) or his company to have stolen it (but he was the only one who went over to our table to spectate.) which was enough to make my blood simmer.

but that isn't why i'm angry.

as if by the guidance of karma (or vipaka, you miss ayen purists), ms. juanillo came and threatened them (the third years, for we packed up our cards already) to "keep them or i'll confiscate them." -- which was enough to merit a gesture of triumph from me, but she added --

"those are the same as playing cards. nakakabobo ang mga yan; you should be keeping those at home."

there are three ideas in her statement, two of which are legitimate facts (one which may be argued as a half-truth, according to the broad-worded school rules), and the other one, a mere unresearched opinion.

nakakabobo ang magic?

really?

p***** ina mo!

(sorry for cursing, but i have solid evidence to prove her statement wrong.)

there are five colors in magic; white, black, blue, green, and red. whichever color you decide to play; you will always involve math, a refined sense of logic and awareness (if you're playing black), and a good understanding of verbal and written english, because you must understand the strict rules (if you don't, i will always argue the rules with you because i have a fine understanding of them). anyway, there are cards that actually involve the use of what you have learned in class, for example:

Murderous Betrayal - BBB (that's triple black.)

Enchantment

BB, pay half your life, rounded up: Destroy target nonblack creature. It can't be regenerated.

now, let's assume your life was 19. and you want to activate this enchantment to destroy your opponent's fresh slith firewalker (you're fighting sligh, which is to say, you're fighting me). how many life points will you cough up?

you have 19 divided by 2 = 9.5. rounding up, that's 10. that's just the math in your head. here comes the logic. by now, it should be the fourth turn at the earliest; i have five mana waiting already. if you decide to activate this and cough up 10 life, you'll be left with 9 life, just enough for me to end this game with a pulse of the forge + shrapnel blast combo. is it worth it to kill a 2/2 slith?

if i were in your place, i wouldn't do it, because that would earn me a loss just to accomplish a small-term goal.

here's another one:

Frogmite - 4

Artifact Creature

Affinity for artifacts (This costs 1 less to play for each artifact you control.)

2/2

This one is really simple. Say you have three artifacts in play. 4 - 3 = 1. tap one land to play it.

want a tough one? the one that will make your head (even mine) hurt?

consider this scenario.

you are staring down four 1/1's on your opponent's side of the field. you have 10 mountains untapped, waiting for you to use them, and the creatures for one final attack to win you the game. you draw, and topdeck a fireball.

fireball is the only card that takes a while for me to compute (hence leiron's term, big red math) and i've stalled in games just to think if my mana's enough to cast a defining fireball. here's the text:

Fireball - XR (x is a variable. just like in algebra.)

Sorcery

Fireball deals X damage divided evenly, rounded down, among any number of target creatures and/or players.
As an additional cost to play Fireball, pay 1 for each target beyond the first.

even now, i don't know how this card works (rules-wise).

so, i need to deal four damage. i work out the math in my head (the ogre needs pen and paper just to keep track of his own life. bah.)

there's 1 already for the initial cost to play the spell. (10-1=9 mana left to spend)
another 1 for the first 1/1 to get hit. (9-1=8 mana left to spend)
pay 2 to deal one damage to the next 1/1. remember, 1 more for each target beyond the first. (8-2=6 mana left to spend)
pay another 2 to deal one damage to the third 1/1. (6-2=4 mana left to spend)
pay another 2 to deal the last point of damage to the last 1/1. (4-2=2 mana.)

i need to compute this data whenever i cast this spell just to see if i have enough mana to manage it.

consider the case of the arc-slogger, when i count how many cards i have left in my deck to feed it to him.

let's say someone kills my slogger and it's the only card left i can use to win. i have five mana open; just enough for 10 points of damage. catch is, does my deck have enough cards in it?

let's say that:

x = points of damage you can deal with arc-slogger.
y = number of cards in hand, z = number of cards in play, and v = number of cards in the graveyard.

(it's the method of counting before you start blasting.)

here's the equation:

sorry, the formatting jumbled it up. it's supposed to be 60 minus y + z + v, all over 10, and then multiply 2 to the quotient. see if you can make it out in the jumbled equation below.

{ 60 - ( y + z + v ) }
x = 2 { -------------------- } (my excuse for a big parentheses)
{ 10 }

to find out how many damage you can deal to the opponent.

author's note: if you've made it this far, i thank you for bearing with me in my magic article. i applaud you for reading up to this far. i also apologize for having written a novel blog, but i assure you that it is all in good intention.

now that i have presented my case, can you still say na nakakabobo ang magic? can you still say that this is eating up our minds? can you still say that it has no educational value? if so, i have more cases up my sleeve.

sorry rod, i couldn't have let it go without having my say.

anyway, thanks for reading, i'll let you know what happened in the field trip tomorrow.

sinong di aabot kapag umulan?

i've had a fun afternoon today, which involved biking downtown to buy load (which is why i can text you now, my dear sister). it rained in the middle of it, yet it was fun anyway.

anyway. as you can see, i have a new layout, and it's... red. that's right.

now, for my magic folk, i have a little game for you. you see, i have been exercising my paint shop pro abilities (more like playing around with the effects), and i've come up with three interesting images which i've censored. they're card art, and i think i mutilated them beyond recognition. see for yourself and guess what they are (clue: they all belong in the same deck)







anyway.

i want an RSS or Atom feed for this blog, but assuming that i'm the only one who'll probably use it (unless you're yaps), i won't probably need it. thankfully livejournal and blogspot (in its company layouts) have RSS feeds so i can read everyone's blogs from my bookmarks menu.

also, can someone please tell me what the difference is between RSS and Atom? if there is any.. since they do the same thing anyway.

enough geek talk :P

i guess i need to talk about something sensible. problem is, i can't. you can read the rant below; that's more sensible.

see you all tomorrow.

why are you so being ungrateful?

i figured, this topic couldn't wait until at least a few days before the actual sophomore night, but after going around, reading blogs, and discovering that most people actually don't want to go to it, i just figured i had to say something about it. after all, i am the son of my mother, who is one of the masterminds who've spearheaded this whole project.

so, most people (you guys can start here if you're a member, and read the comments from there onwards) don't want to go, because of the following reasons:

1) they have other plans, some probably made after hearing about the existence of such a party, labeling them as "scapegoats".

2) you just think the theme is so cliche and stupid. i mean, come on, "cupid's night". i know most people would cringe, but that's just a name. sort of like the initials of our dear principal.

3) it would've been boring. when i first heard that the thing would sort of play out like the grad ball, i couldn't imagine how it would go. but then i remembered, the grad ball had turned into a rave party.

4) there's word going on that since you think this whole thing was conceived by the "popular people", you would lose interest in it, since, well, you don't like what the "popular people" like. truth be told, i don't like most of what they like too, but there's this big fact on the other side that the PA conceived this too. read: the parents of the sophomore batch. they got this thing together. they asked the principal if we could have this. that isn't very easy to do, and that isn't a common occurrence.

off-topic note: you can call yourself as "unpopular" as you want to, but it wouldn't matter. you can also call yourself as "popular" as you want to, but it also wouldn't matter. my real job with this blog sometimes is to call out someone, however "popular" or "unpopular" you deem yourself, and either laud you or berate you. remember, i have freedom of speech too.

now, you may ditch the sophomore night for all i care, but let me have at least a small chance to etch this onto your minds.

last year, i don't think there was a sophomore night for last year's sophomores. this year, they'll have the prom, but that's part of tradition. i don't see freshmen night either for this year's freshmen, surprising because we had one ourselves.

but why do we actually have these parties?

wanna know why? from the grad party to the freshmen night, the PA has been collecting your entrance tickets, and the PA -- correction, our parent representatives in our case -- have been begging the principal for these nights, maybe alongside the srcc for all i know. i've said earlier that asking the principal for a night off of whatever books or assignments we're currently swimming in isn't an easy task, because he has his own reasons as well. but our parents (and maybe the srcc too) have been drilling holes in his head by begging for a party, and now that he has given in (remember last year's party, he temporarily called it off), i'm surprised that you actually want to waste their efforts. that's really rather ungrateful, and yet you wouldn't care because your mother isn't the one planning it anyway.

but at least, consider yourselves lucky because you've got titos and titas who want you to have fun, unlike the parents of other levels, the other levels who weren't given parties like these.

to those who are going, thank you for supporting the PA, who in turn, supports us. to those who are not, why didn't you speak up, and tell someone (me, at the very least) that you didn't want a party like this? my mother asked me at one point, "do you really want a sophomore night?" and what else could i answer but "yes", because i wanted one myself?

if, hopefully, i've changed your mind, you can still pay. but i'm not counting on it; i just posted this to get it out of my system.

maybe, you'll have a happy Valentine's. i'm pretty sure i will, on the cupid's night.

that was annoying -- part 2

there are so many things to blog about, i'm going to have to blog in snippets.

-[local] politics-

- looking at ysa's campaign poster, people who know her will wonder if the third picture, a close-up of her [*coughcough*abnormally large*coughcough*] boobs, is a clever campaigning ploy.

- unless i'm terribly mistaken, the absolute party is the first party in a long time not to use a stupid acronym whose words are an illogical mix that doesn't sound right when recited fully.

- i want victor's pins.

- based on word of mouth, many people are voting straight absolute, more people are voting for victor than for ysa, and some people are just plain not voting for ysa. (the third group includes myself.)

- i have no idea on who i'm voting for president, e.v.p., s.a.v.p., secretary, and treasurer. one thing's for sure though; i'm not voting for carl mamawal as he will just take home the money to the mamawal family for tita ruby to bake more oatmeal cookies. (there's a big lack on oatmeal cookies right now.)

- where is absolute's canteen campaign?

-paascu observations (or lack thereof)-

we were only observed once, on a computer time where we never even got to the computer lab. is s-b so near perfect that we should only be observed once? i don't think teacher richie would agree. ang ganda pa naman ng mga presentations niya. he's so smart, he plugged the laptop to the tv.

chris: "saksak ko kaya laptop ko sa tv ko, para maka-cs ako sa tv?"

anyway, the promised observations didn't arrive, and the use of the laptop was increased. so much for the rental comp lab chairs. they'll all have to give it back after next week (which, i learned from my brother, is the grade school's turn to be observed).

anyway, here's the best poem i've heard. ever. i now have an interest for modernistic poems.
